About Geoffrey Klempner
I am a philosopher interested in photography.
Back in the early 1970s I worked for Chard Jenkins, the advertising photographer who discovered the James Bond star George Lazenby.
I attended evening classes in photojournalism under the Jorge Lewinski at the London College of Printing (now London College of Communication).
I was a stringer for the Fleet Street agency Barratts Photo-Press, and while there photographed the film star Olivia de Havilland and Sonja Kristina of the rock band Curved Air.
After gaining my D.Phil in Philosophy in 1982, I continued my interest in photography. In 2007, I was invited to give a presentation at George Watson College, Edinburgh on 'Metaphysics of the Photograph'.
In 2016, my photo-series 'Sheffield Lanes' was included in 'Bourn', at the Stryx Gallery, Birmingham.
I continue to explore the interface between photographic image making and philosophy, and welcome dialogue with other philosophers interested in the medium of photography.
